Respuesta :

Answer:

C) 1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.

In this question:

We have 8 + 10 + 4 + 2 = 24 coins

Of those, 4 are nickels. So

[tex]p = \frac{4}{24} = \frac{1}{6}[/tex]

The correct option is given by option C.
